Humpbacks or orcas—do you have a favorite? It doesn’t really matter, because during a whale-watching cruise in the Icy Strait, you’re likely to see both. How many and how close depend on the month, the weather, and the whales’ general whereabouts. But spending three or four hours watching these magnificent creatures surface, splash, spout, bubble-feed, and even breach straight out of the water from any distance is pretty amazing. Sea lions, dolphins, and even bears are bonus species you might see, so bring your binoculars and have your camera ready.
